http://www.hollywood-wheels.com Hollywood 1:18 Wheels News (ENGLISH version) en-US    Today, I received this video from Slimer (an user from Spain): in the video you could see his last purchase, a limited edition of the "Tumbler" from Batman Begins. Enjoy with this video and be patient because in the next days I will publish a lot of pictures about the "MOPAR & Duke\'s Fest" event.

]]> Wed, 23 Jun 2010 00:00:00 +0200    I would like to invite all the fans of "The Dukes of Hazzard" and American Cars to the "MOPAR & Dukes Fest" meeting (20th of June): it will be a good chance to glorify a lot of great american cars, especially the replicas of the cars used in the TV series "The Dukes of Hazzard". Moreover, I will expose some of my diecast models (Lee1, pre-Cooter GL, Dirty Mary Crazy Larry Charger, Collier & Co. Traveller, etc.). I hope to see a lot of people at this meeting!!

]]> Thu, 20 May 2010 00:00:00 +0200    I\'m finally recovered from the influence: I spent 5 days in bed with fever and I don\'t wish it on anyone! In this period, however, I got a bit of material and I will publish it in the coming days. Among these, stands out definitely what alex_cj7 sent to me: besides being a very good diecast modeler, alex is also a very good diorama builder. Judge with your eyes!

]]> Wed, 04 Nov 2009 00:00:00 +0100    Have You already seen the new cast picture from the movie "The A-Team"? If someone had lost it, here it is in all its splendor.
   The cast seems well chosen (much like the actors in the original TV series) and if the rest of the movie will be maintained at this level, I\'m sure the result will be great!

]]> Tue, 27 Oct 2009 00:00:00 +0100    New pictures from Roberto!! Today I received new pics about his #71. I must admit that it\'s coming really well. The rust effect is impressive: it seems real! I\'m sure that at the end the model will be truly amazing and very detailed. We look forward to more pictures and in the meantime we wish you good work Roberto!

]]> Thu, 22 Oct 2009 00:00:00 +0200    Today, I received an email from Alex, an user of this site. He sent me a lot of pictures about his last creation, a dirty version of the famous General Lee. I\'m proud to show you the pictures of this awesome custom model and I use the occasion to announce that in the next days I will start to show you my "Works in Progress", the old Mustang from the movie "Death Race" and a new General Lee from the movie "The Dukes of Hazzard (2005)".

]]> Mon, 19 Oct 2009 00:00:00 +0200    As promised, today I will show you the pictures about the last item entered in my collection, a beautiful 1969 Dodge Charger, half "General Lee" and half "#71". This model always comes from UK and was created by David, the same boy who created the other #71 in my collection.
   In the coming days, I will offer you funny pictures, playing on the double face of this model.

]]> Tue, 13 Oct 2009 00:00:00 +0200    During this period, the famous #71 is very popular: after two custom models purchased from David (tomorrow I will show you the details of the model I bought few weeks ago) yesterday I received an email from Roberto with a lot of pictures about the #71 that he is building in this period.
   Today, I want to show you these images and when I will receive new ones, I will publish the updates.

]]> Mon, 12 Oct 2009 00:00:00 +0200    With a little delay, I\'m here today to show you a gift that I received two weeks ago by Ighi72: these are the replica plates used on the General Lee, the front with the rebel flag and the other with the famous characters "CNH320". In addition to making a good showing in my house, in the future I\'ll use them to show you my new models about the TV series "The Dukes of Hazzard". Thanks again Ighi!

]]> Tue, 06 Oct 2009 00:00:00 +0200    Today another new image stolen from the set of the movie "The A-Team." In the picture you can see (from left): Quinton Rampage Jackson in the shoes of the legendary "B.A." Baracus, Liam Neeson in that of Colonel John "Hannibal" Smith Sharlto Copley, as a Captain "H.M." Murdock, and Bradley Cooper in the role of Lieutenant Templeton "Face" Peck.

]]> Thu, 01 Oct 2009 00:00:00 +0200    As promised, here\'s a photo of GMC truck that was photographed on the set of new movie "The A-Team." As I told you yesterday, the graphics of the truck is different from that used in the 80\'s during the TV series. Perhaps this recent photo of the new A-Team movie van that we have all seen is going to be in the beginning of the storyline like the "pre-Cooter" General Lee. We look forward to get other info about it!

]]> Wed, 30 Sep 2009 00:00:00 +0200    In the previous months we heard that the movie version of the famous TV series "The A-Team" is in production and it will see the light in theaters in 2010. Currently, we know nothing about the plot of this movie, but what is well known are the actors that will be part of the famous "A-Team": John \'Hannibal\' Smith will be played by Liam Neeson (in the original series by George Peppard), Templeton \'Face\'Peck will be played by Bradley Cooper (the original series by Dirk Benedict), Bosco\' B.A.\' Baracus will be played by Quinton \'Rampage\' Jackson (in the original series by Mr.T) and \'Howling Mad\' Murdock will be interpreted, but is not yet certain, by Sharlto Copley (in the original series by Dwight Schultz).
   As for the mythical GMC van, there is a picture on Internet where the graphics are slightly different (maybe I will show in the next few days). I hope they do a good job and not as the usual transpositions in which Hollywood has accustomed us...

]]> Tue, 29 Sep 2009 00:00:00 +0200    Do you remember the Dodge Charger #71 I bought in June by David, an English boy? Well, this time I won another model for Hazzard created by him, but this time the diecast model is even more exclusive: it is always a Dodge Charger, but depending on how you look, it looks like a General Lee or the #71.
   I can not wait to receive it. For now, enjoy these photos...

]]> Sat, 26 Sep 2009 00:00:00 +0200    Yesterday, I received another email from Slimer (the same user of the Ford Taurus from the movie "Robocop 2"). This time he sent me a video about his diecast models collection. During the 10 minutes of this video, you can watch the beautiful models that Slimer has owned over the years.

]]> Wed, 23 Sep 2009 00:00:00 +0200    After 4 years of honorable service (an a lot of trips around the world), my old Olympus D-560 (on the left) has ceased to operate. For this reason, I can\'t post news on the site, but don\'t worry: I just ordered a new Olympus SP-590 (on the right) with a 26x optical zoom!! When I will received it, I\'ll be back to update the site! Be patient!

]]> Tue, 08 Sep 2009 00:00:00 +0200    During the weekend I received a series of emails from Ighi about the "Piston Cup" meeting which was held in Lonato (BS). As usual the displayed cars were beautiful and even Ighi\'s pictures are not be outdone. But now enjoy the pictures!
